Anyone know when the first Knockers SIDC or Hot Marques event of 2003 is?

It's not the same without a regular dose of Knockers action

T-uk

good idea,

new engine already fitted after blowing last one up

Sam Elassar

you are not even close to evos mate, that is just a different league all together



sam


happy new year everybody

T-uk

happy new year guys

Sam,if you have 400 bhp yet then I will just leave you to Andy,he will be limited to 4500rpm for 1000miles,so should lead to some close racing between you

Sam Elassar

i like that,

you have a go at evos ( probably me ) and when i tease you a little you bring out the andy will take care of you line again.


at the end of the day i am flattered

Sam would I have a go at you?

if I was having a go I would have said "I will just leave you to AlanG",but since he has only had an 8lap practice,thought that would be a bit cruel .or even with a few more track days under his belt JB.

you are right though ,a 400bhp EVO would be in another league to a 250ish bhp scoob,I would need at least 325bhp to keep up with you now .will just have to look for alternative standard EVO's to play with .will try not to get in your way too much.

Sam Elassar

alan G maybe but when his car is close to mine i will make sure i will not attend the same track day as him but i have got a big margin just now


JB needs a lot to keep up! i remember you keeping up with him at one point when you were giving 60bhp away i think you over took him as well


as for you keeping your car standard, well i don't belive it for a second . i suspect you will have 300bhp+ at some point soon.


but it is still not enough.


sam

T-uk

don't underestimate JB,he is turning out to be a hooligan .if he drives me anywhere these days,the passenger side seems to have a brake too,I've even started wearing a seatbelt when he's driving .do not think he has had the new turbo on track.

Alan was saying your car was flying just now,think this will be good year,with plenty gear-box killing fun

Sam Elassar

not underestimating anyone i was just getting the thread going .


alan though my car was quick, but that is because i thought it was **** and slow. must be getting used to it , there is couple things in the pipe line for the car. so it is still work in progress. not really happy with it just yet. too slow

AlanG

Hmmmm......
< thinks what went wrong last year.....>

Brakes faded after 2 laps.....solution?...AP 6's with 330mm discs.

Turbo blows up.... solution?...fire a big one! on!!...

Not quick enough....solution?...get the boost right up there!!

If it blows , it blows.....

Alan

Sam Elassar

have you mentioned that i am getting bored of track days and not doing any



sam

T-uk

no chance

john banks

Yes I am slow, but I have enjoyed my four trackdays so far even though I am very cautious. Barrel rolling a car on one occasion is enough for me Knockhill tyre walls and gravel traps are not somewhere I want to visit.

T-uk should be some excellent sport for you this year Sam, car and driver. I will watch from a safe distance behind you both for a while whilst I can keep up

Sam Elassar

what do you mean by barrel rolling the car once?

i am sure he will be, you are confirming what i am guessing though about him modding his car in an indirect kinda of way

T-UK
don't really know what you mean by that thread? remember the first couple of times i took my car to knockhill it was standard before the dawes even. and you managed to keep up with me on the straights pretty well.


i don;t have big break HP figures. maybe i will but is that my fault?

Hi all

Well it looks like 2003 is squaring up to be very interesting at knockhill this year.

hope to see all the usual suspect's there.

And NO before any 1 ask's.

Dougie+Diana

T-uk

i am getting bored of track days and not doing any(yes I saw the smilies )

quote from that thread

Take a leaf out of the few on here...Gaz, DaveD, Sam, Blade, Rosco, Dale....who are all men !!!!

your famous,a real man,you will never stop,even without the smilies meaning you were joking.

just wanted to bait some of those modding pussies on here who decat,remap this and that,drive like a loons on the road but do not have the bottle to do it on track.

hi Dougie,

are you going on...........,oh your not!

T-uk

Sam,

since JB has yet again opened his trap and landed me in it ,yes the car is getting a few mods.

I must add,I will be running a turbo as fitted to a standard subaru.I will have suspension to try and keep the panels straight this year ,I think the standards have been pushed far enough.I will have a larger cooler to keep it safer on track.

you work the rest out yourself

Sam I had quite a big crash just before I got the Subaru, and have changed my habits rather, so far I have not crashed the Subaru. We all need to be a bit careful, getting it wrong can harm your health seriously It is picking your own risk:fun ratio.

dougies549

Dear John Harley

That must mean i have to get taken out for a few passenger laps this year then M8.

Since that's the only way i is going to see the full track.

Dougie+Diana(Why should i change, that means some 1 else gets your attention)

Andy.F

Guy's, what a thread, I'm missing the fun

On track, I just intend to watch from a safe distance too

AlanG

Watch from your rear view mirror?

Alan

Sam Elassar

i know you were hiding couple of things T-UK but since you came out clean, i will tell you my list of mods for this year ;

waiting arrival of my 2.2l tomei stroker
a big turbo unit is being produced just now for me ( still developmental) ie free
newer higher lift cams also development item ( read free again )to be fitted very soon
short evo6 rs gear box to be fitted so i can keep up with andy's



thats about it folks


sam

Andy.F

That'll be andy's 2002 spec

Sam Elassar

what you are getting a short evo6 rs gear box? don't think it will fit

sam

Andy.F

You sure ?

T-uk

thanks Sam,you just saved us all some cash,if that is all your doing we do not need to spend as much to keep up

you sure 2.2l will be enough?,we all thought you would have been going 2.5 or even 2.7 just to make sure .

Andy,doubt you need anything fancy if thats all he is doing,save some cash and throw a standard piston back in .

Crush

Sam, I want a pax lap around knockhill when it's finished
